In Charles Poliquin's programs exercise selection is based on what he calls structural balance. Structural balance means how proportionate your muscles are. For example, in your upper body you want to make sure that your pressing and pulling muscles are proportionate to each other. Remember that you are only as strong as your weakest link, so if you improve your weak link then all of your lifts will improve. Some common weak links that we see in many people are the external rotators of the shoulder, the lower traps, the lower back, the hamstrings, and an area of the thigh. For many people when these areas are addressed their posture, pain, movements, and strength all improve.
